The Photographer's Eye by John Szarkowski is a twentieth-century
classic--an indispensable introduction to the visual language of
photography. Based on a landmark exhibition at The Museum of Modern
Art in 1964, and originally published in 1966, the book has long
been out of print. It is now available again to a new generation of
photographers and lovers of photography in this duotone printing
that closely follows the original. Szarkowski's compact text
eloquently complements skillfully selected and sequenced groupings
of 172 photographs drawn from the entire history and range of the
medium. Celebrated works by such masters as Cartier-Bresson, Evans,
Steichen, Strand, and Weston are juxtaposed with vernacular
documents and even amateur snapshots to analyze the fundamental
challenges and opportunities that all photographers have faced.
Szarkowski, the legendary curator who worked at the Museum from
1962 to 1991, has published many influential books. But none more
radically and succinctly demonstrates why--as U.S. News & World
Report put it in 1990--"whether Americans know it or not," his
thinking about photography "has become our thinking about
photography."
